The High Line is Open!.

After 10 years of lobbying, fundraising, design and development by the Friends of the High Line, the first phase of the High Line is now officially open to the public. The High Line is an elevated railway along the west side of Manhattan being converted into a unique public park. Read more about the opening in the NY Times. I wrote about the role of design in the Friends’ advocacy work in Communication Arts in May 2004 and again in May 2009.
